From the Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. -- Ronde Barber became Tampa Bay’s all-time interceptions leader with 3:40 remaining, Brian Kelly picked off Jason Campbell’s throw in the end zone with 17 seconds left and the Buccaneers held on for a 19-13 victory over the Washington Redskins.

The turnovers were the fifth and sixth forced by Tampa Bay, which also recovered four fumbles to set up a touchdown and three field goals in the first half.

Tampa Bay (7-4) played most of the game without quarterback Jeff Garcia, who injured his back on the first play and remained on the sideline until Washington (5-6) pulled within a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Campbell led the Redskins’ rally from a 19-3 halftime deficit. The second-year pro was 30 for 49 for 301 yards.

Barber’s 32nd interception stopped one threat and Kelly picked off a pass in the closing seconds after the Redskins had marched to the Tampa Bay 16.

Tampa Bay held on despite being out-gained, 412-192.

Quoteworthy: “This is what we do. We come up big this time of the year.” -- Brian Kelly, Buccaneers cornerback
